No need for re-tuning when adding race fuel. It burns like regular gasoline, because it is regular gasoline - just gasoline with a high octane. However, if you were to (for example) dump methanol into your gas tank, that would require re-tuning. Just dump it in and drive. |
Ok sweet :) Im going to have to put in a full tank of race fuel and feel the power ;)
One last thing about octane and boost, when I run my methanol injection kit with 93 octane gas in my tank, about what octane will my fuel be? Like on your chart you posted, how much boost would I be able to run? |

http://www.snowperformance.net/stage...st-cooler.html I'll also assume you're planning to run EITHER: - A 50-50 mix of pure Torco methanol and distilled water ..-OR- - Snow Performance "Boost Juice" HOWEVER, even knowing those variables, all I can do is give you a decent guess. My best guess is that you'll be fine up to about 22psi...which is about a 'net' 100 MON. Please only take this as a rough estimate, and carefully tune your max boost with the methanol kit, ideally using data logging from your knock sensors. When you figure out the exact answer, please post back here - I'm very curious! Lastly, I'd also recommend you mix something like this with the methanol+water: http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=84&pcid=12 OR http://www.vpracingfuels.com/index.h...duct&ID=349107 OR http://www.lucasoil.com/products/dis...catid=2&iid=26 |
Yepp thats the kit I'm running and I will be running Boost Juice.
So Would 25lbs be out of the question? Why should I add those to my tank? |

Although you can't easily calculate precisely how much boost you can run with a given octane of gasoline, you can get 'in the ballpark' ... after that, it's best to use data logging of your knock sensors to determine the real number. Also recall that octane degrades over time, so you can run more boost with fresh fuel than you can with fuel that's six months old. The real calculations use difficult-to-collect data points like cylinder pressure and the temperature of the metal in the spark plug. Please take a look at this post (above) for a set of approximate boost-to-octane ratios: http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/102902-post29.html In that chart, you see that pump gas is only 88MON, which is only good for about 15psi. Of course, you'll get more power at 15psi with a 700rwhp turbo than you will with the stock twins. However, above 15psi you need to use the data from your knock sensors to ensure you're not damaging your engine. The only other alternative is to keep raising boost until you blow up an engine (or significantly reduce it's compression/leakdown numbers), and then next time (and $4000 later, including parts and labor) don't run that much boost. ;) |
I have been hearing a lot about people putting heat blankets on their turbos, would you recommend doing something like this?

Since I am upgrading to a single turbo and will probley be running around 700-750whp, should I buy a Intake Manifold? Also, should I increase my rpm limit to lets say 7500 or is it fine for where its at?
